Looking for a sound bar to pair with a lg c2 oled

Ideally want something with hdmi inputs with a single hdmi output to my TV

Needs to have at least 2 imputs

1x virgin media box
1x Xbox one X

Budget say around £7-800 max less would be nice

Just had this delivered today, although haven't tried it out yet, but has pretty good reviews, and it's a good price at the moment..

Stereo or multi channel?

Personally I'd recommend skipping soundbars and get a 5.1 system, go and have a demo to compare them

Whilst I would prefer a seperated system i simply don’t want the faff I want an all in one and at most a seperate sub to the side to plonk under my tv plug in and go

Have you looked at these LG ones?

The Samsung Q930F is probably impossible to beat at that price tbh, one of the few soundbars I'd actually consider using myself too.

It is however bloody massive & reassuringly heavy..



Looking forward to see if it lives up to the hype.

Given the amount of speakers that's reassuring tbh, there's always going to be a certain amount of trickery (especially software wise) with bars like this, but it's a less of a problem with a good chonky bugger where there's actually enough space to fit something half decent inside.

I have dumbells more than twice the weight of your sub, utterly pathetic!

You should get a subwoofer that's at least 50kg.

I do however have decent Hifi gear for music, and pics that I've actually posted, rather than a few grainy photo's taken in a 3rd world looking hovel because you were forced to
Anyway, you were saying..

Wait, he actually took some photos of his kit?

 

[JonRGV250]

Under the threat of a ban, yes.
Pretty it wasn't.

Probably recommend getting a soundbar with standard subwoofer pre out, so you can add any standardized subwoofer (or two) If you buy a soundbar with wireless subwoofer function, you're stuck with just the one of the same brand.

You’ve just missed out on the Q990F that Fenwicks had on offer yesterday for £299

For what it's worth, when I was looking for a soundbar I downloaded some demo film footage onto my phone (especially films with difficult to hear dialogue) then I went to Currys and connected to the soundbars I was interested in via Bluetooth. It's obviously not the optimal way to connect, but it did at least give some consistency with both connection and footage rather than using their demos. You could even use some YouTube footage of films etc if you can't be bothered downloading onto your phone.

Bugger me I'd have been along to buy one myself for that and I'm running an AVR.

 

[233]

thats a pity that looks like a tcracking soundbar for the money.

looking at a LG US80TR soundbar setup at £499 which seems decent value,

any other suggestions before i hit buy?
